Dallas Keuchel News
If the Seattle Mariners decide to skip young right-hander Emerson Hancock's next turn in the starting rotation and if righty Bryan Woo (elbow) isn't ready to return from the injured list by then, newly signed left-hander Dallas Keuchel could be an option to temporarily replace Hancock. The 12-year-old veteran and former Cy Young winner threw five scoreless innings in his season debut with Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. Levi Stoudt, Casey Lawrence and Jhonathan Diaz could also be candidates for a spot start for the M's. It would be a cool comeback for Keuchel, 36, but his upside would be limited for fantasy managers and his stay in Seattle's rotation would likely be a short one with either Hancock or Woo replacing him sooner or later.
Former American League Cy Young winner Dallas Keuchel is signing a minor-league deal with the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday. The plan will be for the veteran left-hander to report to Triple-A Tacoma. The 36-year-old southpaw won the Cy Young award all the way back in 2015 with the Houston Astros and hasn't made an All-Star team since 2017. Last year in 10 appearances (six starts) for the Minnesota Twins, Keuchel went 2-1 with a 5.97 ERA (4.56 FIP) and 1.67 WHIP with 18 walks and 25 strikeouts in 37 2/3 innings pitched. There's no guarantee that he'll make it back to the big leagues in Seattle, so fantasy managers in all leagues can probably leave Keuchel to the waiver wire. In his 12 big-league seasons, Keuchel has fanned just 6.9 hitters per nine innings, too, so there will be very little upside if he's making starts for the M's in 2024.
The Minnesota Twins are using multiple off days this week to push left-hander Dallas Keuchel's next start in the rotation to this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Twins aren't in a rush to throw Keuchel back out there after he was shellacked to the tune of six earned runs on six hits while walking two and striking out none in just 1 2/3 innings in his last time out on Aug. 11 against the Philadelphia Phillies on the road. Keuchel was much better in his debut with Minnesota on Aug. 6 against the Arizona Diamondbacks, when he gave up just an earned run in five innings of work. The 35-year-old veteran southpaw will be going on eight days of rest in a great matchup this Sunday, but fantasy managers need to keep in mind that he has yet to strike a batter out in his 6 2/3 innings of work.

Dallas Keuchel had a great first year with the White Sox, going 6-2 with a 1.99 ERA over 63 1/3 IP. Unfortunately, no pitcher is due for more negative regression. His 3.98 xFIP was nearly two full runs higher than his ERA, and Baseball Savant's expected ERA metric liked him even less at 4.39. Lest you think some sort of contact suppression was in play, his xBA of .282 was much higher than his .218 average against. Likewise, his .397 xSLG was 100 points higher than his actual .286 mark. He also finished the campaign with zero DFS, suggesting that Keuchel is no longer the defensive standout he once was. Keuchel appeared to change his pitch mix to get more strikeouts, most notably throwing more cutters (20.2% in 2019, 29.7% last year) at the expense of his signature sinker (48.9% to 33.1%). It didn't work, as Keuchel's 16.3 K% was as low as it typically is. Furthermore, Keuchel's cutter only posted a 28.8 GB% against his sinker's 62.4%. What we have here is a former Gold Glover who has become a neutral defender, a ground ball specialist pitching away from grounders, and one of the most fortunate pitchers in the league. His ADP of 195.78 isn't expensive, and yet you're still better off rolling the dice on somebody with upside.
